Thanks, Manny.
My cousin (=father's cousin's son) Jean-Jacques Greif has written a
number of young adult books based on the family history and Holocaust
themes. This one tells the story of his father.
The family tree at the beginning of the book is, to the best of my
knowledge, reasonably accurate for the history of the Greif family.
(There are some errors elsewhere, e.g. my grandmother died in the 1930s,
not during the war.)

Lonek le hussard (pdf) <789ebooks/LonekHussard.pdf>
Lonek, fils d’un aubergiste dans une province polonaise de l’empire
Austro-Hongrois, admire les hussards et les lanciers qui viennent boire
la fameuse bière de l’auberge et danser avec les belles /entraîneuses/.
Plus tard, devenu pianiste puis médecin à Paris, il fréquente toujours
volontiers les braves gens que l’on rencontre dans une auberge – et se
montre incapable de résister au charme d’une jolie femme.
Engagé dans un réseau de résistance communiste, il échappe à la police…
jusqu’au jour une une maîtresse jalouse le dénonce.
Les Allemands le déportent à Auschwitz, où il survit parce quu’il est
fort et débrouillard, et parce qu’il trouve du travail dans l’hôpital du
camp. Il se cache quand les Allemands évacuent le camp.
Il est le premier homme à sortir vivant d’Auschwitz, trois jours avant
l’arrivée de l’armée rouge.
Lonek, c’est mon père. J’ai aussi écrit l’histoire de ma mère: /Une
nouvelle vie, Malvina/, que l’on trouve encore dans les bonnes librairies.

Also, he has a great interest in studying our family, and has amasses a considerable amount of information on the subject. He surely is the person to consult on the Greifs. After all, he is the great grandson of Rosa. (Rose is the daughter of Paula, my mother's sister. More details in my segment Family 1).
